Bomb Bay Reviews

As the game is, it is not amazing. This game has a long way to go before it is completely flushed out; however, even with the flaws that this game has, it is still fun. I enjoyed playing through the levels and can see myself playing them again, as I missed side objectives and other secrets. I would reccemend this if you are bored and want a short game to play through.

I don't write reviews for games so this will be a pretty medicore take at it. To start off I'll give you the short of it, for a game made entirely by one person on a simplistic engine it is a good entry into the steam catalog of games that is littered with broken and unplayable trash. [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Like I mentioned before this engine is known to be simplistic unless you are an actual game company with a budget to pay for very expensive version of it. With what the developer had to work I'd say this is great. The movements and gunplay are surprisingly smooth and it is genuinely fun to run/sneak around the levels lurking up on enemies and killing them with a stealthy mace swing from behind. The guns themselves feel very diverse and act appropriately to their real world counterparts. The setup is similar to that of old school shooters like Doom and Quake with their ammo and health pickup styles with a modern touch of stealth from newer games like Splinter Cell or Dishonored. I am definitely a fan of this, being my favorite part of the game overall. The AI is the only part of gameplay that I can complain about. They are very simple and lack any real intelligence. I have been told by the developer that there are updates for this to come in the near future so I'm not too worried about it right now. [h1] Level Design [/h1] The game's most unique aspect and honestly the almost entire source of replayability (besides getting achievements) is the level design. I love how every single level had it's own style and feel that made going back and looking through all the nooks and crannies of the map worth it. Very reminiscent to older shooter titles like mentioned before. More levels would definitely be one of the most wanted additions to the game in my book. [h1] Replayability [/h1] This is currently the game's most lacking feature as of this review. Right now with a total of 5 levels not including the tutorial, there is a lackluster amount of time that you can put into this game before you've done everything there is to do. While the levels are good in my opinion, there isn't enough to give someone enough things to do to have more than 5 or so hours max on the game in it's current state, but that is the beauty of early access so I'm sure the developer will be working on this title to make a more fufilling experience for everyone in the near future. [h1] Conclusion [/h1] To sum everything up, this game is decent. The gameplay and level design are old school with a nice modern flare and are good enough to make hours on the game not feel super repetitive. But the lack of content in it's current state hold it back from being a title worthy of full release. I give it a 7.5/10 in it's current state. Hopefully it will improve over time and that will increase :).
